COOKIE POLICY

Last updated September 16, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Orthrus Software Ltd ("Company," "we," "us," and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://orthrussoftware.com ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

We use cookies only for functionality (e.g., remembering preferences like dark mode and enabling login/session security) and for analytics (Google Analytics). We do not use cookies for targeted advertising on our Website, and we do not permit third parties to advertise on our Website or to use your information for targeted advertising.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Orthrus Software Ltd) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." We use a limited set of third-party cookies for analytics only (Google Analytics). We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first- and third-party cookies for the following reasons:

Essential/Functional cookies — required to operate the Website and to provide functionality such as remembering settings (e.g., dark mode), keeping you logged in, and maintaining site security.
Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) — help us understand how visitors use the Website so we can measure and improve performance. These cookies collect information in aggregate form. We do not use this data to identify you or to build profiles for advertising.

We do not use cookies to serve targeted advertisements and we do not allow others to advertise on our Website.

What cookies do we use?

First-party functional cookies (e.g., preference and session cookies) — store choices like theme preferences and help manage secure login sessions.
Google Analytics cookies — set by Google to collect aggregated usage statistics (for example, page views, referrers, and approximate geography). Where supported, we configure Analytics to respect privacy-enhancing settings (such as IP anonymization). For more information about Google’s data practices and controls, see Google’s policies.

We may in the future use Google Ads for our own search advertising (e.g., to show our ads on Google search results). If we add conversion measurement on our Website, it would be solely to understand the effectiveness of our own ads and not to enable targeted advertising on our site. If that changes, we will update this policy before enabling any new cookies.

How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.

The Cookie Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner and on our Website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Website though some functionality and areas of our Website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.

How can I control cookies on my browser?

As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information. The following is information about how to manage cookies on the most popular browsers:

Because we do not serve targeted advertising on our Website, industry opt-out tools for interest-based ads may not be applicable to your use of our site.

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

We may use similar technologies like web beacons or pixels in conjunction with our analytics to help measure Website performance and usage (for example, to count page visits or confirm that a page was viewed). These technologies rely on cookies to function properly, so declining analytics cookies may affect measurement.

Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?

We do not rely on Flash technologies for our Website. If you encounter legacy Flash content elsewhere, the information below explains how to manage Flash settings.

If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).

Do you serve targeted advertising?

No. We do not serve targeted advertising on our Website, and we do not allow third parties to advertise on our Website or use data from our Website to target ads to you on our site. Our cookies are limited to essential functionality and Google Analytics for aggregated usage statistics.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
